  • THE BUSINESS of EMERGENCY MEDICINE … MADE EASY! Sponsored by AAEM Services, the Management Education Division of AAEM
    THE BUSINESS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE … MADE EASY! Sponsored by AAEM Services, the management education division of AAEM UDisclaimer The views presented in this course and syllabus represent those of the lecturers. The information is presented in a generalized manner and may not be applicable to your specific situation. Also, in many cases, one method of tackling a problem is demonstrated when many others (perhaps better alternatives for your situation) exist. Thus, it is important to consult your attorney, accountant or practice management service before implementing the concepts relayed in this course. UGoal This course is designed to introduce emergency physicians with no formal business education to running the business of emergency medicine. The title “The Business of Emergency Medicine Made Easy” is not meant to be demeaning. Instead, the course will convince anyone with the aptitude to become an emergency physician that, by comparison, running the business of emergency medicine is relatively simple. With off- the-shelf software and a little help from key business associates, we can run an emergency medicine business and create a win-win-win situation for the hospital, patients, and EPs. By eliminating an unnecessary profit stream as exists with CMGs, we can attract and retain better, brighter EPs. AAEM’s Certificate of Compliance on “Fairness in the Workplace” defines the boundaries within which independent groups should practice in order to be considered truly fair. Attesting to the following eight principles allows a group the privilege
